Hello, I played with Seth's perl-o-tine plugin which is really great. But I have a problem: Many of my pictures can't be converted in a GIF file (indexed mode), because they have too much colors. I also dislike GIF files because of patent problems, we all know about. So I thought, I'll hack a little patch for the script, so that it handels the file as PNG files. When it works, I'd simply add a checkbox in the userinterface to ask if the user want's to get a GIF or a PNG output. Anyway, the changed script doesn't work. :-( I added my patch below, perhaps you can find the mistake? The problem occurs when calling 'tmpimg->file_png_save(...)'. I also tried the function gimp_file_save (as in the original script), but that doesn't work either. And yes, I'm sure that I'm allowed to write files, it my $HOME. :-) My system informations: SuSE Linux 7.0, gtk 1.2.8, Gimp 1.1.29, XFree 4.0 Thank you! Here's the patch: ---- snip ---- 92c92 < $imgname = "$imgbasename-$i-$j.png"; --- > $imgname = "$imgbasename-$i-$j.gif"; 97c97 < # if (! $tmplay->is_indexed) { --- > if (! $tmplay->is_indexed) { 101,104c101,103 < # $tmpimg->convert_indexed (2,0,256,0,1,duck) < # } < # $tmpimg->gimp_file_save(-1,"$savepath$imgpath$imgname","$savepath$imgpath$imgname"); < $tmpimg->file_png_save(-1,"$savepath$imgpath$imgname","$imgname",1,0,0,0,0,0,0); --- > $tmpimg->convert_indexed (2,0,256,0,1,duck) > } > $tmpimg->gimp_file_save(-1,"$savepath$imgpath$imgname","$savepath$imgpath$imgname"); ---- snap ---- Bye, Jan -- ETES - Espenhain & Theofel EDV-Systeme GbR ACHTUNG - NEUE ADRESSE!
